Saint Vincent junior tabbed PAC Defensive Player of the Week

Saint Vincent College junior Anthony Johnson has become the
first player in school history to be honored by the Presidents'
Athletic Conference as Defensive Player of the Week.

Johnson, a junior middle linebacker from Fort Pierce, FL, turned
in a monster performance for the Bearcats in their narrow opening
day loss to Bridgewater on Saturday afternoon. He established a new
school record with 14 tackles, including 2.0 for losses, while also
intercepting a pass to set up Saint Vincent's first touchdown of
the day in the third quarter.

The 14 tackles bested Johnson's previous school record of 13, set
last season against Grove City College. He has now recorded at
least 10 tackles in nine of his 13 games in a Saint Vincent
uniform.

Saint Vincent is in its first year as an official member of NCAA
Division-III after successfully completing a four-year provisional
membership when the school moved from the NAIA in 2006.

The Bearcats (0-1) will return to action this Saturday afternoon,
traveling to suburban New York City to take on Fairleigh
Dickinson-Florham in a 1pm non-conference tilt.
